I'm looking to buy some UELs for my '98 2.5GT. I've found some for a good price. I've got a (phase 1???) Legacy, DOHC, because I can see it's got 2 cam gears on each head. The photo of the header on the website shows dual ports where the header would join to the heads on either side, the description states them as 'also' fitting 97-05 Legacy GTs (amongst a few other Subes), but the title states them as being SOHC headers, for 99-05 EJ25 Imprezas. I've searched around multiple sites and threads but I'm still a little confused.

Do the Phase 2 SOHC EJ25 heads have dual exhaust ports like the Phase 1 DOHC EJ25 heads? I'd imagine the SOHCs would have single exhaust ports, with the DOHCs having dual exhaust ports, no? Which would mean that SOHC headers and DOHC headers would be different... no?

Are these supposed to bolt right up regardless of whether it's a DOHC or a SOHC EJ25? Because that's sort of what the item description is leading me to believe.

Thanks.

All dual port NA headers will fit on all dual port NA cars regardless of engine.
In short it will work.

They'll fit just fine. It's the goofey Phase 2 EJ22 that had single port.
